I have a 4 month Frenchton and I’ve had him on Royal Canin since the day I got him. I did a lot of research before I got him and ultimately it seemed like Royal Canin was the superior brand and was best for puppies. Anyway, I go to a local pet store and they asked what food I have him on, they...

Hey everyone, I have a yellow lab that is 8 years old named Houston. He is my best friend, but he has a issue with food and I have a mother and family that loves to give it to him. Unfortunately my big yellow fluff is over weight, has seen 5 different vets about a interdigital cyst between his...

Not sure if our puppy's portions are too big or if she just gets bored but we've been feeding the same food she got from at the breeder for 3 weeks now and she has never finished her portion. She is supposed to be eating 1.25-2 cups per day per the bag and given her age and weight (11...

Just wanted to get your opinion on how much of this hot dog per day I could get away with safely as high value treat. My girl needs a ton of motivation when out on the leash so that's the only time I'm using it, but I still would like some advice on how much per day is acceptable. Don't want to...

I am currently fostering a 4 month old gsd puppy. We have only had him a few days but he is painfully thin. My best guess is a 3 on body condition. You can see every single rib and his hip bones. We have switched him over to the good provided by the rescue - Diamond puppy. My best guess is...

Hi Folks, I bought some snacks in pet store, one of them is bone (which is not bone, but some kind of hard to chew snack) and since my dog likes it I wonder if the indigriends are beneficial for him or not. Can someone advise? Corn starch - 59.71% Black rice flour - 7.50% Chicken -...

Hey everyone! Since Victor is off the shelves right now due to the recall, I made the switch to N&D. I did accidentally buy the grain free option (chicken and pomegranate). I know there’s a bunch of controversy with grain free diets lately. Fortunately, this brand was not on the list. I know...

Curious as to what brands are better for dog food. I have a 9 month old ACD and a six year old Boarder Collie / Australian Shepard mix. Grain free food - I have heard it’s important years ago to give your dogs grain free food, then read about it causing seizures in dogs online, and actually a...

Our vet appointment isn’t until next week (Thx Covid), and the internet can beall over the place. The breeder was super sweet and said maybe a full red solo cup a day (spread out between meals). What do you all think?

For anyone that isn't aware, ingredients on dog food are listed from highest contents of ingredient to lowest, so the first ingredient is the highest content and so on. Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy $123.99cdn for a 35lb bag Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Wheat, Wheat Gluten, Chicken Fat...

I don’t know WHAT possessed me to do this. I don’t know why I didn’t take a half a second to the think of the consequences. Last week when pouring the little Fresh Pet meatballs into my pup’s food bowl I had what, at the time I thought was a brilliant idea, but what can only now be described...

Hi! We just recently got a puppy (14 weeks old) and the breeder has been feeding him Taste of the Wild dry food. She told us that this was the best her research led her to, but after reading up on it a bit we found that the option isn’t as good as she’d described, partially because it wasn’t...
